HKMIPS Foreword 2016

前言

中國傳統繪畫發展步伐至今，由文人書室走到展覽廳、美術館、博物館，甚至走出廣大的空間；面向當代藝術和國際社會，當中產生了巨大的變化。發展這革命性的文化復興正是由於六十年代初期的台灣劉國松和香港呂壽琨等推行的「中國畫現代化運動」；這對後來中國水墨畫的發展帶來了翻天覆地的影響。

此等運動於半世紀以來，在香港孕育了不少自成一格的水墨藝術家，他們對香港及世界藝術界的貢獻，是可以肯定的。因應這個機遇，香港現代水墨畫會的成立於一九七七年，至今已逾三十九年的歷史；雖然會員的去留也曾風雨幾番，但總的人數也能保持十五人左右；在千禧年後，我們更向外廣納人才及志同道合者，使隊伍更臻壯大，會員倍增；在我們的努力下，創造一次又一次的水墨盛會，得到藝壇的重視。

除了傳播新水墨、國內外交流展覽外，我們每年的展覽，是香港現代水墨畫會畫家的創作成績表，亦為香港眾多的同道們、水墨藝術愛好者期待的盛會。我們將一如既往，悉力以赴，把香港的文化巨輪，推向前方。

Foreword

The development of traditional Chinese painting so far, from the literati in study rooms to exhibition halls, art galleries, museums, and even out of the vast space, in front of contemporary art and international community, produced a huge change.

The development of this revolutionary cultural renaissance is due to the implementation of the “Modernization of Chinese Painting Movement” by Liu Kuo Sung of Taiwan and Lui Shou Kwan of Hong Kong in early 1960s. And this has led to Chinese Ink Painting a tremendous impact thereafter.

A number of ink painting artists in Hong Kong have developed their individual style in the Movement for the half century. Their contribution in art both for Hong Kong and the world is certain. In response to this opportunity, the Hong Kong Modern Ink Painting Society was established in 1977 and has been in existence for more than 39 years; despite of numerous difficulties, the number of members keeps in around 15. As the millennium came by, we stretched our hands outward to talented and like-minded persons, making our team grow stronger, and the number of our members doubled. Ink events were created one after another, and our effort was getting attention of the art circles.

In addition to dissemination of new ink, exchange exhibitions of domestic and foreign artworks, our annual exhibitions, are the creative performance table of the artists of the Hong Kong Modern Ink Painting Society. And it is also a great event longing for by many Hong Kong fellows and ink lovers. We will, as always, work hard in pushing Hong Kong’s cultural wheels forward.
